We stayed in a Water villa in April for 10 nights. The resort is tired and needs work doing to it. The wooden walkway leading to the water villas needs replacing in lot's of areas, it is very badly cracked and we had to watch where we walked. I am amazed that the buggies drive on it. I can see an accident waiting to happen. Our villa was ok, but again needs work, and the steps leading down from our villa into the sea were extremely dangerous. On our first day my Husband slipped down them as they were extremely slippery. We were very concerned as my Husband has had a knee replacement. We called Munjid our villa host who sent out maintenance. The steps were a bit better after a good clean, Unfortunately this did not stop me slipping down them even though i was extremely careful, badly bashing my back. I was very badly bruised but it took Munjid over 24hrs to ask how I was and did I need a Doctor? Maintenance was sent again and they added a grip to each step which made them better. The steps into the sea are very narrow and when they are slippery they are very dangerous. We were made to feel old by Munjid's response as he said the resort mainly has younger couples who jump into the sea. It was not all younger couples there and the age group varied. Whilst I understand that slime will build up on wooden steps in the sea water this can be sorted by regular through cleaning. We have stayed in the Maldives several times always in Water villas and never had this issue before. The food was dreadful. I have since seen others complaining about the food. Hot food was tepid at best and the cold food items left uncovered on the salad bar in extreme heat. The cheese went oily, salmon dried up, if you were lucky some ice was put on a tray underneath, but it was not topped up. Therefore the food was not served at the correct temperatures. At the end of service items were stored back in a fridge in the salad bar. We saw them clearing away. I was appalled. The egg station for breakfast was not good and for a chef to not be able to cook eggs properly say's it all. I asked for over easy and he was going to smash my egg to bits. The restaurant staff were very slow at keeping food items topped up, so if you came for dinner a little later than 7pm, you would be left with what there was left. Only the odd item replenished. My Brother in law decided to treat himself to a Lobster one evening. What a mistake, within 2hrs he was vomiting which continued throughout the night. There was a little freezer for 4 different ice creams for dessert. I do not believe it worked properly as the ice cream turned to milkshake. The AI was very petty. Coke and sprite included, but should you prefer or had to have diet Coke or Fanta it was charged at $9 usd for a small bottle. Ice cream included at mealtimes but should you want Ice cream in the afternoon it was chargeable at $12 usd Disgraceful and money grabbing. Very little evening entertainment so not a great deal to do.
